More pictures from Brittany





Earlier I posted these pictures, but I didn't get the chance to put a little note about them because there is far too much competition for this laptop at my parents' house, and I just didn't get it for long enough!

We went on an outing today, to another little Breton village, and again there were a lot of cute artisan shops and cats. In fact, as I was taking the photo of the above cat, her owner arrived and starting chatting to us; I think she was very pleased that I was photographing her cat, but I felt too embarrassed to take any more pictures of her. Isn't she gorgeous? In the photo with the tree, you can see nests of mistletoe, there seems to be a lot of it growing here. Brittany also has a lot of folklore and legends, and many shops selling little figurines for the tourists. Veggie Hubby bought a little gnome/goblin/elf-type souvenier (apparently called a Korrigan) and I found a natural habitat for it in the garden, check here to see him in another location. I am not particulary interested by witches and mythical creatures, but I did like the pink witch outisde the 'Phil and Luna' shop (something to do with her colour...). I even think we saw a group of real witches (a group of women, wearing black with lots of cats around) in the square...scary!
